Very nice. Next time, if you haven't ever tried it, put some fruit in the rack below for aromatics. A few halved apples and a lemon. Some swear you can't taste the difference, but I think you definitely can. We used to smoke chicken breast with hickory and apple wood, then add some halved apples directly below. Best chicken ever.

I've only had my smoker out once this year to make some moink balls and pork chops. Love me some slow smoked meat.

I was really nervous about "Moink Balls" since I had to Google what the hell they were. Now that I did, I will definitely be making these sometime. (They're bacon wrapped meatballs smothered in bbq sauce for those who are curious)

They are awesome. I try different combos. I think my favorite is sausage balls that I roll in a rub, then generously wrap in bacon and sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar for flavor. I put them on the top rack of the smoker and let the bacon grease drip on the pork chops below. I guess those would just be oink balls though.

I am hoping to smoke my first brisket here soon. I had an UDS smoker which I miss and loved, now it have a smokey mountain from Weber which I like but not as much as my UDS. Any good brisket advice out there. I have done scores of Boston Butts and a few ribs but no brisket yet.

I've never attempted brisket myself. I've heard they can be a bit tricky.
